It seems the most robust: test for iomem, and jump to a slow path copy, otherwise inline the kmap and memcpy Every place doing memcpy from sgl will need that pattern to be correct. > > sg_miter will still fail when the sg contains __iomem, however I would > > expect that the sg_copy will work with iomem, by using the __iomem > > memcpy variant. > > Yes, that's true.

How? sg_miter seems like the next nightmare down this path, what is sg_miter_next supposed to do when something hits an iomem sgl? miter.addr is supposed to be a kernel pointer that must not be __iomem..
